Quote from MadCatX :

Car doesn't loose power because of the cooling system. Air density decreases with its temperature so in hot weather there is less oxygen in the engine. Less oxygen means that less fuel is burnt which is where the power loss comes from.

Thermodynamically speaking just the fact that the fuel is burning in hotter environment results in less fuel being burnt (Le Châtelier's principle).

Likewise, a cooling system that allows the engine to overheat at speed is very poorly designed.

Quote from QATAR948 :

1 :Brakes : If players start push brakes allot the break Pad will become hotter and car will stop more harder and race for long ways may make pad get eated so breaks will work much harder.

This is already covered here under brake temperature, wear, and overheating:
Suggested improvements log [READ before making a new thread]

Quote from QATAR948 :

2 : Engine : if player keep car in high RPM with long time his engine Temp will get higher and make radiator start to make engine cold down so car will lose some HP because radiator start.

I don't think you understand how a car's cooling system works.

The water pump is always spinning. As a result, coolant is always flowing through the radiator and engine. The thermostat (if one is present) is a valve that controls the rate of flow based upon coolant temperature, but this does not impact the parasitic load on the engine.

some highsider that is.

It's Bautista. It's kinda his thing.

You would probably need every iteration of the physics model and every car and track ever created, all compiled into one binary that conditionally applies these items based upon the detected version of the GST/SPR/MPR.

Who is to say Scawen still has all the old code and content saved somewhere? To say nothing of his willingness to take on such a project in lieu of further development on LFS.

Quote from GenesisX :

Setup building is just as important as racing. If setups were so trivial, why don't you build YOUR OWN setup and race me. If you can still beat me, then you are a better racer. If you can't, then you aren't.

Every set I used was always built by me. At some point I may have obtained a base set from another user but most became heavily modified to suit my own unique tastes. People, particularly teammates, commented that my sets, namely for the FO8, were great for threshold braking but not so much for trail braking, as was my style. This didn't quite suit others, so they modified it. Great racing was had.

Setup building is important in that it helps the driver change the car's behavior to suit their own personal style. You can't be as fast if the setup does not suit you. A fast driver's setup is not a panacea. It will not make you faster unless it suits you better than your current setup.

Quote from Gutholz :

What if somebody politely tells you something like: "Please stop snooping around in my garage, we are trying something new blabla sorry. Maybe we can talk after the race".

I've honestly never heard anyone say that. Everyone is far too friendly and welcoming to say such a thing.

Sim racing: srs bsns.

Quote from amp88 :

Comparing club level competition to F1 is pretty tenuous.

DWB's last sentence is not specific to F1. This may not have been intended, but that's how it reads.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

They're hiding every damn thing they can, and trying to preserve every advantage they can. That's what racers/race teams do.

That was not my experience with motorbike club racing. You could go up to someone's bike and start checking it out and the rider may even tell you everything about it. They know if you beat them, you're simply a better rider.

I suspect Tristan may have a similar story, with the exception of one particular arrogant driver.

Quote from Gutholz :

All games/competetions relay on information, some more some less.
In chess both players can see the complete board and yet a mind-reading magican who can predict your moves would be a hard opponent.

Again, false equivalence. No one is reading a driver's mind on the track, although one can make accurate predictions based upon logic. Even if you could read their mind, you'd still need the skills out-drive them in order to win.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Tell that to F1 teams. Sure, drivers make a big difference, but they still hide what they're doing in the garage.

You really think they're hiding their spring and damper rates? There are far more critical things to hide on an F1 car that have nothing to do with setup and everything to do with the car's inherent performance.

Quote from Gutholz :

Have you ever played a cards game? Think what happens if players try to spy onto each others cards.

Again with the false equivalence.

Card games by their nature rely upon deception and obfuscation as a game mechanic. Not so much with racing. You can know everything your opponent can and will do and still lose handily.

Quote from Kristi :

Only people who never spent hours or days trying to get a setup running as good as they imagined on the sheets approve the stealing of setups.

I beg to differ.

Quote from Kristi :

I see that LFS is not an eSport and is not profitable in any ways, but do you think people sticked here for money? Accomplishment, knowing that something you created works and you achieve something with it is one of the best feelings and someone who steals it all by 2 clicks and might run you short on your goals by doing so... that's something I would want to avoid.

Quote from GenesisX :

It does. It deprives them of a potential win that they could've had if you didn't STEAL their setup.

You're both ignoring how personal setups are.

If someone beats you on track, regardless of whether they have your setup or not, regardless of whether you have their setup or not, you're simply not as good on track as them. Deal with it.

Quote from Ped7g :

why not? It's usual to get paid for good information. If somebody just copies it from you, it deprives you from the benefits you could have maybe got.

How much do you think an LFS setup is worth?

It's absurd to suggest one could profit in any meaningful way by selling a setup instead of just giving it away.

Quote from GenesisX :

Whether it is a few numbers in a text file, an Oreo cookie or 32 billion dollars, stealing/copying other people's work is wrong.

False equivalence is false.

Stealing an Oreo or some amount of currency deprives someone else of same. This is not the case with information.

After having purchased everything I need, motorbike racing is about $600 USD per weekend for me, assuming I don't crash. That includes entry fees, fuel for the bike, fuel for the tow vehicle, and amortized consumables (mainly tires, which last a few weekends and cost $400 USD for a pair).

Curious:

4207206 km = 4207206000 m
2^32 - 1 = 4294967295
4294967295 - 4207206000 = 87761295

Relatively close to the limit of an unsigned long integer.

Also:

4207205888 = 0xFAC4DE00 (FACADE?)

Someone trying to say something?

Is your system memory overclocked? What are the specs? What frequency and timings do you have set?

Falling through scenery would not happen if it were just a graphics issue. That's physics data corruption.

Quote from Racer X NZ :

More to the point, The damn car's shrunk !

Translation along an axis != scaled

Perhaps you're thinking of ILP vs. TLP?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction-level_parallelism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism (aka thread-level parallelism, or multithreading)

The former is a much older technique and involves maximizing the utilization of all execution units within a single core to execute a chunk of code as quickly as possible.

The latter involves efficiently maximizing the utilization of multiple cores to run multiple, relatively unrelated chunks of code simultaneously.

Both are intended to improve performance, it's just that there aren't any compilers (yet?) that will write TLP code for you, so there is some extra effort required on the part of the programmer.

Quote from Slovakia ring :

I spent a lot of time create my own set and someone comes save MPR and several hour race run settings it is suddenly public hmmm.
Who created this s...d program for MP ?! Destroy the work of the other honest people.
Why people do not respect " pls send set" -yes- TNX, -no- OK !!!

Don't be so dramatic. Nothing is being "destroyed."

You still have your set and, presumably, it will still suit you just fine. There is no reason someone else being able to download your set should change that.

The vitriol and narcissism in this thread are insane.

Quote from danielroelofs :

Especially in endurance races.. a setup can play a hugely important role in strategies, which is what endurance racing makes that much fun.

Driving style is far more important than a setup.

Quote from Forbin :

Among a variety of other factors, that's how CoRe won the GT2 class in the 2008 MoE 24HR @ AS5 ahead of Mercury, arguably the GT2 class favorite for that race. They were faster, but we had a smooth setup and, most importantly, smooth drivers who could eke out those few extra laps from the tyres and maintain good pace.

Another, very fast but less smooth driver on the same team with the same setup popped a tire 4 laps before the smoother drivers would have pit.

4 laps is an eternity at AS5, just under 12 minutes. The only thing that changed was the driver.
